@AudaciousRed said: It will be a weighed average of all the credits you have ever done. So, the plus side is, if you have any A+'s, they are counted fully as 4.33. 7sage has a predictor (https://classic.7sage.com/gpa-calculator/) for how LSA…

First, from one vet to another, thanks for your service. FWIW, my uGPA is worse than yours. You can overcome it. Now for your questions: Schools will only "count" your first GPA. They will see all of your academic history, so keep achieving in you…

I came at this problem from a slightly different angle. I had to translate military speak from my 25 year career into civilian talk. What helped me is getting people with zero military exposure to take a look at my resume and tell me what they think…

FWIW, I believe you have a solid plan. One piece of advice I would offer is to not rush through the CC. Take your time and really focus on learning and understanding the material. There are no "tips or tricks" in the CC. Its a solid grounding in the…

This may or may not help, but IMHO, if you want to go, take your shot and apply. The thing about models you have to remember, they are accurate over large numbers of people. For example, given your noted percentage of 79%, the model would suggest t…

No real insight here as I'm just an applicant, but I'd go with 1 prof and 1 professional LOR.

As someone who used to forecast human behavior as part of my job, I take any prediction with a huge grain of salt. However, Spivey has one analysis of this cycle that I hope is on point. https://blog.spiveyconsulting.com/this-will-be-a-slow-cycle/

If you are planning on applying next cycle, then study and register for the LSAT AFTER you have reached your goal score on your practice tests. There will be no noticeable difference in test difficulty among the tests regardless of which month you t…

You are really asking two different questions, honestly. Is "the law" for you? Multiple scores of >160 would lend one to believe that you can make it through law school, pass the bar, and become a practicing attorney. Are you cut out for T14 or…

"I knew I was capable of a higher score, so I retook the test."

I'm assuming I'll be on a couple of wait lists and hoping this helps get me off them. This may be all in vain; however, hope springs eternal. TBH, it will also take my mind off status checkers as well. ETA: @Louislepauvre I've already submitted all…

Only you can decide what is most important to you. With that said, I know a guy who will be 47 when he starts orientation. Don’t let some predetermined notion of age influence your decision.

The Illinois prompt did not induce me to make any changes in my basic resume. In my education section, I have "extracurricular" under each school and at the end I have a personal section that lists interests and hobbies. I have them listed in each …

I'm biased by over 2 decades of military service, but I fall into the "follow the stated rules" camp. We even used to have a saying, "Failure to follow simple instructions." FWIW, I think you would have a bit more leeway if you were significantly …

So yeah, this happened recently: Law School Admissions person calls, "Hey LSAT_Wrecker, the committee has reviewed your application and has this very specific question about your academic history." Me "I wrote an addendum that addresses that very …
-
One perspective, even if you dork up a scored LSAT, you can retake. After your uGPA is set, its forever. Focus on your exams.
-
One dude's opinion (father of four). Take it for what its worth. Can you envision "a good time in your life" to have a child? Law school may not be ideal, but at that point, you are not litigating for a client, or negotiating for a hostile M/A, or w…

There are a couple of previous threads on this topic but fwiw, I flat out asked one adcom why they asked that question. She told me, “blah blah blah, yield protection, blah blah blah.” I did not answer the question on any application on which it wa…
-
So what I took from the complicated LSAC response (viewing the world through my glass half-empty lens) is that when the school you matriculate reports to USNWR, they will report you as a 3.49 student. However, when you and that school are negotiatin…

@LSATcantwin said: Also stay off reddit and other forms, all those places did was increase my anxiety Yeah, this. On the advice of my wife, I deleted reddit off my phone. It was causing too much stress in my life.
-
My 2 cents, I would wait until next cycle and blow it out of the water. Some thoughts: 1 . Focus on the LSAT. When and only when you are PTing where you want to score, then schedule the actual test. Don't register for a date and try to force progre…

@Supernovice Offers great advice. I'll add: Age: I'll be 47 when I sit down at orientation. I'll take the bar at 50. I sat out last cycle because my LSAT wasn't shiny enough to overcome a horrible 20 year-old uGPA. Age is just a number. First / …

UCI’s first wave of admittances just rolled past me. As I sit in my office typing a Petition for Declaration of Paternity. 😓

Thanks so much. https://thumbs.gfycat.com/ElatedLazyCrayfish-size_restricted.gif

Speaking as someone who used the 7Sage Admissions service for something similar to this via a la carte pricing, I cannot recommend this enough. I was very pleased with the feedback received.

@Supernovice said: @"the truth hurts" said: The fact that you are asking this suggests that you don't know much about law school or the lawyering profession. It also suggests that you haven't talked to lawyers or people who have we…

This place rocks. Christmas come early ✌️

My personal opinion, write them both and see which one "speaks" to you the most. While I believe that a sincere personal statement is good, there is probably not a "unique" personal statement. As much as we want to believe that we are each special, …
